The two issues I had over the years was:
My SSL cert expiring (not really a Jellyfin issue).
My FireTV updated the Jellyfun app to a version that no longer supported the server version, this was pretty frustrating becuase I just wanted to sit down and watch some TV instead of messing around with a upgrade.
In saying that; Kodi also ran fine for years without issue.
My main issues with Jellyfin are scrubbing difficulties and subtitles going out of sync or not being able to change their timings, same with audio timings.
- actionfromafar 4y agoHad the same with an LG TV. Workaround by running with http (not https) on local network.

- metadat 4y agoHow does this work on a LAN or other private network? Can it?
- Macha 4y agoYou can do DNS based challenges without exposing your network itself if you have a real domain name.
- poglet 4y agoThanks, I did use Let's Encrypt and had certbot setup but didn't realise the renew process required port 80 open (I had blocked it on my firewall).
- drexlspivey 4y agoYou don’t need port 80 open, you can do DNS based challenge. 1) Transfer your domain to someone who provides a DNS API like DigitalOcean or Cloudflare 2) download the appropriate plugin for certbot (certbot-dns-digitalocean, certbot-dns-cloudflare) 3) get an API token and config the plugin with it 4) set up a post-renew-hook to do a `service nginx reload` to reload the new cert sample instructions for DO https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-acquire-a-let-s-encrypt-certificate-using-dns-validation-with-certbot-dns-digitalocean-on-ubuntu-20-04 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-acqu...
- poglet 4y agoThanks for your reply, this was really helpful I will give it a shot.
- metadat 4y agoAnother annoying thing about Jellyfin is the inability to disable subtitles by default. Doing it manually every time gets old.
- onedr0p 4y agoAnother annoying bit on the client side, the Android app appears to choose audio tracks at random even though I have English preferred. I have all of a show ripped the same way with dual audio tracks and jellyfin can't be consistent. Plex never had this issue with this show.
